Question

What are some good baby products used for excessive dry skin? (wash/lotions)

Share

I've been using Johnson & Johnson products but I'm thinking maybe both my children's skin is very sensitive because it never seems to stay moisturized, although I apply lotion twice daily and give baths every other day. The wash and lotion are only making their skin dry. I thought I'd ask before I went and bought something that wouldn't work. Does baby Aveeno help?? Open to all opinions

My son is 3 and he has had bouts of eczema since he was born. As an infant I realized dairy was the culprit and so I eliminated dairy from my diet because I was breastfeeding. As he grew and he began solids I began adding dairy products in tiny increments. I noticed the more dairy he had in the day the worse his eczema would become. Anyway just this past summer his eczema got really bad. We were on the road a lot visiting my in laws and controlling dairy was difficult (he absolutely loves dairy) and so by the end of the summer his eczema was the worst I had ever seen. I downloaded this book from http://pregnancyhours.com/childeczema and followed everything she wrote. I began a daily routine of bathing and moisturizing. I can honestly say that thanks to the recommendations in this book my son's eczema has completely disappeared. His skin is clear and baby soft. His eczema was specifically at the back of both knees and now he no longer itches that area. I am so amazed at the results!

My daughter has Eczema and I was so worried and had no idea what to do. I am a young mom and this is my first child. I looked around and searched for something natural that could help because all the brand name lotions and baby soap seemed to be making her eczema worse! I didnt know what to do and felt bad for her. I then found a store online that makes all natural everything! It has cleared her eczema and now my family is addicted to buying other products from them! You can email me if you'd like to hear more! Ill be glad to share my story!

Your first issue is washing baby every other day. Babies only need to be washed 2-3 per week. Your second issue is J&J which has been cited in a class action lawsuit for containing carcingenics and other harmful chemicals. And FYI, J&J owns Aveeno. Your best best: Californa Baby which is an all natural chemical free line available at Target.

i use aveeno and that works really well but i personally love Lubriderm's lotion. its worked so well for all ages and everyone who i recommened to use it loved it. also for some reason my fiancee says that if you put vaseline on and a band-aid or wrap or a sock over the dry skin area over night that you will wake up with super soft moisturized skin. i dont know if that works but he said thats what he uses for when he has dry feet. Hope this helps :)
